Windhaven

Windhaven is a town defined by its verticality and the sea. Pale stone walls protect the landward side, while the harbor is a dense thicket of masts and creaking timber. Streets near the water are slick with spray and crowded with fishmongers, while the upper districts offer quiet cobblestones and the imposing Hall of Currents. Every building features reinforced shutters and weather vanes that spin frantically in the coastal gusts.

History

Windhaven was born from the wreckage of a Great Armada three centuries ago. Survivors used stone from the cliffs to build shelters that eventually became a permanent city. Growth was fueled by the discovery of deep-sea trenches rich in rare oils and the tactical importance of the Serpent River mouth. Today it stands as a beacon of maritime trade, though its foundations are built upon the bones of forgotten sailors.

The Age of AshThe Great DredgingEngineers deepened the harbor to allow massive merchant galleons to dock safely.

The Silver EraThe Wall FoundingThe Stonewind family completed the pale sea walls to repel coastal pirates.
